A feeding companion from first feeds to family dinners

The first thousand days, off your mind. And dinner sorted for years after.

You just had a baby — what now? When to feed, what to feed, what's next, and why — answered like a best friend who cooks brilliantly and reads pediatric journals. The brain grows faster in the first 1000 days than at any other time in life1 — so every meal matters, and every answer here carries its receipt. Tap the little numbers.

Banana-Ragi Pancakes

9 mo +10 minsaved from a reel

Three ingredients, no sugar — the banana is the sweetness, the ragi is the iron. Cut into strips for little fists.

tap to flip → ingredients & the why

What's in it

  • 1 ripe banana, mashed
  • 1 egg — an early-allergen win 🏅
  • 3 tbsp ragi flour

No added sugar — none needed before age two, says the AHA. Egg keeps allergen exposure in rotation, and ragi quietly carries the iron.

🍼

The rhythm view

Today's feeds and meals, laid out like a gentle timetable. Newborns nurse 8–12 times a day; the app counts so you don't have to. It reshapes itself as your child grows.

🥜

Allergen adventure planner

Peanut, egg & friends — introduced early and one at a time, the way the LEAP and EAT trials showed slashes allergy risk. With a calm what-to-watch-for checklist.

🌿

The exposure ledger

Palak, rejected twice, is not a verdict — science says 8–10 tastings change a child's mind. We keep score, so a spat-out spoonful logs as progress, not failure.

📖

A vault for every recipe

Save from reels, screenshots, or grandma's dictation. Every recipe gets an age stamp, an allergen note, and a place in this week's plan.
